Chapter 12 They Actually Ran

Both sides were well-prepared battle teams. Their previously scattered positions suddenly adjusted at this moment. Both sides adopted the most common formation for team PK: warriors in front, mages in the back, archers on the wings, and thieves free to roam.

But Yun Zhongmu was anything but free. After being slowed by the Eternal Curse, he was immediately pinned down. Yun Zhongmu wanted to turn back to his team, but he couldn't break free. Eternal's sword light came one after another, like black lightning. The sword was clearly not ordinary, and with the Dark Knight's attack bonus, even if these were just normal attacks, Yun Zhongmu didn't dare to resist carelessly.

The few people who had tried to break past the four to cut off their retreat were now extremely embarrassed. Not only had they cut off the retreat of those three, but those three had also cut off their retreat. These two small groups wanted to return to their formations, so they were the first to engage in close combat. But the others weren't far behind. In a moment, the entire street was filled with the sounds of various skills in a large-scale PK.

The Eagle Corps guys were worthy of being top-ranked players. Everyone had skills that ordinary players had never seen. They initially caught the Shi Hui Alliance off guard. But Yun Zhongmu's brothers were also ruthless. Facing the disadvantage in strength, they didn't retreat at all. They charged headfirst into the unknown skills, trying to get close and create a situation of more against less.

The Eagle Corps was clearly a little unprepared for the bravery of these people. They had been messing with the Shi Hui Alliance for a while and had always been in a dominant position. The thirty of them were very arrogant. Now they were seeing the true grit of the Shi Hui Alliance. These guys cursed "son of a bitch" and "old man" as they charged, looking like they had lost their minds and were hacking wildly. But despite their crazy appearance, their minds were clear, and they were still coordinating their attacks methodically.

More than fifty people were not destroyed by the Eagle Corps as easily as the Shopping Hundred-Man Squad. The people of the Eagle Corps were also veterans of online games for many years. They knew that they had met real hardliners this time, so they gave up on the idea of instant kills and crushes and began to deal with the opponent seriously.

In the melee, there were no more tricks, only a hard collision of the overall strength of both sides. The Eagle Corps had the advantage in equipment, skill, and coordination. The Shi Hui Alliance had the direct advantage of numbers, and more importantly, an "all or nothing" momentum.

This momentum meant that each of them had a mindset of trading lives for lives. Many times, they didn't care about their own life or death, only seeking to hit the opponent, reduce their health, and pave the way for the brothers who attacked later. Under this momentum, the Eagle Corps had to give way slightly. They didn't want to die in battle casually, especially since they had been busy all day, and each of them had PK values, so death would be a severe loss.

The Eagle Corps began to fight steadily, protecting the healers first and then patiently wearing down the Shi Hui Alliance players. Their team was a cohesive whole, and they moved back and forth in the street without any disorder. On the surface, it looked like the Shi Hui Alliance had surrounded them, but in reality, they were constantly moving as a whole, looking for gaps in the Shi Hui Alliance's positions to launch concentrated attacks.

Yun Zhongmu didn't expect the other side to be so patient. This was their territory. Now many people were rushing to help. These people didn't have the intention of a quick battle. They were too confident. Yun Zhongmu was angry, but helpless. In individual duels, he was suppressed by Eternal. Now in team battles, he couldn't think of a way to deal with the opponent's coordinated fighting style.

Seeing that the brothers who charged up would be encircled and eliminated by the opponent, Yun Zhongmu quickly stopped everyone's rash attacks.

"Retreat, recover, we're not in a hurry." Yun Zhongmu reminded everyone not to be impatient. They had plenty of time to deal with them. The Eagle Corps should be eager to finish the fight and escape.

The crowd, who were in the midst of a heated battle, woke up and retreated temporarily. But the Eagle Corps accurately seized the moment of this transition. The formation suddenly dispersed again. The front row was full of warriors, using Whirlwind Slash to fill the entire street, spinning and moving forward at high speed!

"Mages, bomb them!!!" Yun Zhongmu roared. The warrior's Whirlwind Slash had extremely strong judgment, so only the mage's spells had a chance to deal damage to the warrior at this time.

But the Eagle Corps was also prepared. The healers followed closely behind, steadily healing the warriors. A row of spells landed, and beams of white light rose. The warriors stood firm, spinning non-stop.

"Damn, how much rage did they store up!!" Seeing the opponent's Whirlwind Slash lasting so long, Yun Zhongmu realized that the opponent's fighting style was a series of linked moves. Before, they shrank into a group to let the Shi Hui Alliance attack, and their warriors withstood the attacks and accumulated full rage. Now, this Whirlwind Slash, a row of them spinning over, didn't collide with each other at all. The skill control was also a bit excessive.

After this row of Whirlwind Slashes, more than ten of Yun Zhongmu's brothers were killed or injured. Seeing the opponent's Whirlwind Slash stopped, Zhu Xian, that kid, roared with surging emotions, "Brothers, it's our turn!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another warrior flew out from behind the opponent's warriors. Earth Shatter came crashing down. Zhu Xian quickly raised his giant axe to block it. The loud noise made everyone's eardrums ache. Zhu Xian shouted "Ouch" and flew out sideways. Apparently, he didn't have enough strength to withstand this heavy blow.

After Earth Shatter, the mage's spells also rolled in. Yun Zhongmu and others had no choice but to continue to dodge. Those who couldn't dodge could only watch as they turned into white light and left.

"Damn it!!!" Yun Zhongmu's eyes were red. "Everyone follow me and charge. I don't believe we can't take down even one of them!!!"

The reckless energy rose again. Yun Zhongmu used Swift Travel and ignored everything, passing through the sea of fire to pounce on the guy who used Earth Shatter. The others also howled and, following Yun Zhongmu's instructions, pointed all their attacks at this person.

This person obviously didn't expect Yun Zhongmu to be willing to sacrifice so much to kill him. This caught him off guard. Yun Zhongmu, who rushed out of the sea of fire, seemed to be still smoking, but it didn't affect his flexible footwork at all. He used a "z" step to flash behind the warrior, when suddenly, his body tightened, and his steps slowed down.

"Eternal, I'll fuck your ancestors!!!" Yun Zhongmu knew that Eternal had cursed his agility at this time, and he was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

With this slowdown, the warrior had time to turn around and slash with his sword. Yun Zhongmu ducked his head to avoid it and saw that the opponent's thirty weapons seemed to be pointing at him.

"Ya ya ya!!" Figures rushed out of the sea of fire. How could Yun Zhongmu's brothers just watch at this time? Two warriors charged out, and the guy who played Earth Shatter couldn't dodge any longer. He was hit by both of them and flew straight out.

"Damn, they crashed him so far, how can we kill him!!" Yun Zhongmu was still cursing!

"Fuck you, even if you drop a level to 39, you're still so arrogant." It was Duan Yun who spoke. He had just joined forces with someone to knock away the guy who was about to slash Yun Zhongmu's head off with his sword.

"Even if I drop to level zero, I have to take one of them down today!!"

Yun Zhongmu roared and waved his hand at the mages and archers who generally wouldn't go deep into the enemy's formation: "Everyone fucking attack, bomb them all to death."

In close combat, archers and mages couldn't perform well because they could easily injure their own people. Especially the mage's area spells became forbidden techniques in melee. But at this time, Yun Zhongmu was going all out. He was willing to die to take down one of the opponents. The mages and archers didn't care when they heard this. They used whatever skills they had. Spells and arrows could hit whoever they hit. Anyway, they were throwing them blindly.

Eternal saw that the other side was messing around so recklessly that they might really kill a few of them. He didn't think it was worth sacrificing a few of his men to exchange for all of them. He quickly ordered everyone to retreat.

"Damn, are you scared? You sons of bitches!!" Yun Zhongmu was furious when he saw that the other side was retreating. The people of the Shi Hui Alliance were also in high spirits and wanted to chase. But Eternal steadily controlled the rhythm of the battle. He suddenly turned back, and the ranged players fired together, taking a bite back. A few more players from the Shi Hui Alliance were instantly killed.

At the same time, the mage, healer, and archer legion behind Yun Zhongmu and the other melee classes suddenly became chaotic. Three enemy assassins had somehow snuck into their midst and suddenly appeared, hacking wildly at these guys who were weak in close combat. The attack power of the three assassins was terrifyingly high. In a short while, they had cleared a space. Yun Zhongmu and others quickly wanted to come back to help, but the three thieves had already Swift Traveled away. As a result, Eternal led his people to charge over again. Yun Zhongmu couldn't protect both the head and the tail, and he was so anxious that he wanted to tear up the entire street.

Just then, a brother next to him pointed at the back of Eternal and the others: "Reinforcements are here!!!"

Eternal and the others naturally had to look back when he pointed. They found that the so-called reinforcements were only six or seven people. They came quickly. They were obviously thieves and archers. But what was so scary about just a few more people?

The reinforcements were actually people split off from Yun Zhongmu's team. They were originally told to go around the back to prevent the thieves in the four-man group from escaping. They were naturally a little late. However, it wasn't just these few guys who were going around the back that made Yun Zhongmu so excited. The reason for his excitement was because he saw a guy in a black robe coming with the small team that he had split off. At this moment, Yun Zhongmu suddenly felt relaxed.

The change was too obvious compared to his previous ferocious look. Was it worth being so happy just because a few people came? Eternal wondered and looked back again. This time, he finally saw clearly that among the group of people coming quickly, not all of them were thieves and archers. There was also a guy dragging a long robe...

"A mage who buffs agility, it's him..." Eternal quickly realized. The boss had given him a reminder about this person. He just didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet him so soon. Just how terrible was this guy who had become invincible in the game?

"Attention, attention, the mage coming from behind is likely to be Qianli Yizui!!!" Eternal quickly sent messages in the channel. (Qianli Yizui = A Thousand Miles, One Drunk)

"I didn't expect to meet him here."

"Should I ambush him?" Ba Yi Xi San, who was famous on the Thief Ranking, was eager to try.

"I heard that this guy has some anti-stealth ability. Stealth is useless against him." Obviously, the Eagle Corps had also studied Qianli Yizui overnight.

"That's because those trash thieves' stealth skill isn't high enough, right?" Ba Yi Xi San said disdainfully.

"Withdraw!" Eternal said suddenly at this time.

"What?" The team was shocked.

"Qianli Yizui's arrival is an accident. We don't have the preparation to deal with this kind of accident. Withdraw first." Eternal said.

"Hey, none of our thirty people are missing. Are we afraid of him alone?" Ba Yi Xi San said.

"It's not fear, it's not doing unprepared PK. And Qianli Yizui isn't alone. Yun Zhongmu and the others are still alive and well." Eternal said.

"Those guys, one more wave and we'll completely cripple them." Ba Yi Xi San said.

"But now that Qianli Yizui is here, the situation is different. In short, those with speed find a chance to escape on their own. The others find a gap and use a teleport scroll directly!" Eternal no longer argued and issued the order in an unquestionable tone.

The Eagle Corps members followed the order. It was nothing new for them to run away halfway through a fight if the situation was not right. So, those with agile classes first harassed and covered, and those without agile classes feigned a few attacks and then suddenly gathered together, and four people immediately used the teleport scroll.

As these people flashed away, the agile players also scattered in all directions to find a way out. In less than half a minute, the street that had just been fighting so fiercely suddenly became quiet. The people of the Eagle Corps had disappeared cleanly in an instant. The last thing Yun Zhongmu and the others saw was a figure turning around and disappearing at the street corner.

Yun Zhongmu looked at the surviving brothers, all of whom were covered in sweat. Although it was only a few minutes, it was obviously an extremely difficult battle for them. Yun Zhongmu briefly counted the number of people who were killed. Twenty-one had died. Compared to other team wipes, his brothers were still brave enough.

"Why did they all leave?" Someone was still at a loss. So someone pointed him to the black-robed mage who was almost in front of them.

But after the person arrived, everyone was speechless.

"Who came up with this idea?" Yun Zhongmu asked.

"I..." One of the reinforcements said.

"I'm ashamed..." Yun Zhongmu felt that he had nowhere to put his face. The Eagle Corps, an elite team that had overwhelmed their fifty-odd people, was actually scared away by a guy who was just wearing a black mage robe and could run faster. How great was the influence of the real master?

Yun Zhongmu opened his friend list and looked. Qianli Yizui wasn't even online...

"Could it be that I still have to ask him for help?" Yun Zhongmu thought. This head-on confrontation finally gave him an accurate assessment of the strength of the Eagle Corps. An ordinary hundred-man team was no match for their thirty people. What to do now? Should he change the guild announcement again and ask everyone to gather two hundred people to go out and fight? Yun Zhongmu couldn't bring himself to change it. The more he changed it, the more incompetent the guild seemed, and the more his strategic contempt for the Eagle Corps seemed like empty words.

"Should we find someone in each team to dress up like this?" Yun Zhongmu looked at the guy dressed as "Qianli Yizui" and smiled bitterly. Such a trick would only work once. If it worked twice or three times, then the Eagle Corps would be a bunch of idiots.

"Old Yun, what do we do now?" Someone asked.

"Let's go first!" Yun Zhongmu said.

"Where to?"

"How the fuck should I know." Yun Zhongmu was annoyed.

"That grandson, Zhe Huamu! I'll call someone to hunt him down." Someone shouted. Zhe Huamu was the mole who had tricked them into coming here. He had of course already left the guild.

"Those are all minor matters." Yun Zhongmu waved his hand. (Zhe Huamu = Broken Flower Wood)

The people of the Eagle Corps didn't kill them all and ran away, but no one present was in a good mood. The last trick of pretending to be "Qianli Yizui" could only be met with a bitter smile by sensible people like Yun Zhongmu. Only idiots like Zhu Xian would enthusiastically discuss the feasibility of everyone dressing up as Qianli Yizui to scare the other side to death.

They didn't know that there was still a tail following behind them.

"Qianli Yizui, huh? I'd like to see how strong you are." Ba Yi Xi San, as an agile assassin, was naturally one of the last to evacuate. However, this guy wanted to test Qianli Yizui's strength, so he went around and used Stealth to hide himself. He was now following boldly behind Yun Zhongmu's entire team.

This guy was bold. Based on the Eagle Corps' three thieves' successful sneak attack earlier, he believed that these people didn't have anti-stealth ability. He got closer and closer, wanting to test the legendary anti-stealth of Qianli Yizui.

"Nine meters, eight meters...seven meters..." Ba Yi Xi San could easily follow the footsteps of the other team while in stealth because he had equipment that increased stealth movement speed. At this time, he was counting the distance between him and Qianli Yizui. There were all kinds of rumors on the forum about Qianli Yizui's anti-stealth ability. Some even mentioned some bullshit killing intent... Ba Yi Xi San wanted to laugh when he thought about it. He didn't care what kind of ability it was, he just wanted to figure out the distance first.

As a result, after walking all the way to the front, Ba Yi Xi San estimated that he could even hold Qianli Yizui's hand, but this legendary "stealth ineffective" guy still didn't notice anything.

"Damn it, I knew that everything on the forum was gossip, with no real stuff." Ba Yi Xi San cursed secretly. Looking at this guy he could stab with one hand, he wondered if he should make a move.

"Anyway, he's a mage, his health and defense can't be that high... I can kill him quickly with a few knives and use Swift Travel to escape, right?" Ba Yi Xi San was really bold. Not only did he sneak into the Shi Hui Alliance's team in stealth, but he also wanted to show himself and kill someone.
